ebay: Pope Benedict XVI’s VW Golf sold for 204.400 USD

Biddings for Josef Ratzinger’s -now known as Pope Benedict XVI, ex 1999 VW Golf VI have just ended a few minutes ago (Saturday, 14 April 2007 09:18:24 PDT) on ebay. The car’s current owner, Texas-based online casino, GoldenPalace.com sold it bidder No33 (we don’t have any details yet), for a staggering 204.400 USD.

This is the second time that the "holly" Golf changed hands since the…blessed 21-year-old Benjamin Halbe (it was only when he obtained the car’s registration documents that he realized who’s car it was) sold it to GoldenPalace in 2005 for approximately 244.590 USD. According to GoldenPalace proceeds from the auction will benefit "Habitat for Humanity Great Britain". Link: ebay
